At least the QBs will both likely play. Curious to see what attendance is like. Both teams probably have plenty of fans in Florida
-
Michigan fans looking for a warm beach
Texans, not so much
-
It isn't going to be the Wolverines.
-
I don't think so.
Wolvies have no offense
-
Depends on opt-outs. I expect Texas will have a bunch. Coaches will use the practices to get next year's team going.
-
well, if Arch opts out, that's a difference
young Michigan QB is gonna want to take a step forward

Nah Arch is coming back next year so he'll play, at least some of the game. Wouldn't be surprised though, to see our younger QBs get some snaps too.

not sure if you're aware of this, but there is no beach in Orlando, FL.

yup. a lot depends on who actually wants to play. bowl games outside of the playoffs are all just about getting the young guys ready and up to speed and used as a launching pad for the upcoming season.

of course. bowl prep is huge for young players trying to develop and get better. get an extra 15 practices in that they wouldn't otherwise if the team misses bowl. it's a big deal for young freshman players.

not sure if you're aware of this, but there is no beach in Orlando, FL.
yup, I've been there
mostly mouse ears but,....... the beach is only 80 miles away due west
Folks from the upper peninsula can learn as they go
-
Well see if the bowl checks clear. Otherwise Im guessing theyll be nursing a slight injury

Sweet Jesus.
The beach is like 25 miles east. Yes, it's also 80 miles west, because peninsula! But save some money on gas, will ya?
-
it was a rental
weather was better on the west coast
daughters had a great time - best day of the week - much better than any of the 4 days at the park
yes, I'm a great father

Water is warmer on the Gulf side, that far North. On the East side it's warmer but only around West Palm because of...
the Gulf stream being so close to land there.

and, I have money for gas - was also the least expensive day of the week

Last time my family went to mouse-world we rented a big house for the week, and all the backyards in that neighborhood had big nets encasing them, to keep gators out, we were told. It was kinda weird at first, but then I got used to it and it was a pleasant enough back-yard experience. The pool and hot tub were nice, and I guess you don't want to come home after a long day of mousing and find a gator swimming in the pool with you. It occurred to me that if they could get in the back yard, they could be in the front yards too, or on the streets, which are obviously open to any Florida mascots who are looking for dinner. Never saw any, though.
Never saw nets around yards on the bayou back in LA.

Can't live without a pool cage around here.

I thought those were mosquito nets? My sister had one in her backyard when she lived in Merritt Island, FL.
I can't imagine one of those nets would stop a gator if he were hungry.
-
That was quite a few years ago, so I'm not sure I remember the nets accurately enough, but in my mind it doesn't seem like the mesh was small enough to keep mosquitoes out. As for Gators, that's what somebody said, but people are stupid and frequently wrong, so there's that.
I don't know about nets stopping Gators. I've been around my fair share of the Louisiana variety and they never seemed very aggressive (thankfully). I always thought they could easily overturn the small boats people go amongst them in with some thrashing, or possibly get in them (I'm talking about very small boats, basically slightly larger canoes). But they never did. They just kinda sit there grinning, encouraging you to get in the water with them, they're perfectly friendly, as if we're going to fall for that. Gators are stupid, but they are Florida fans, after all.
I'm stumbled upon a few on land, and again, thankfully, they were not aggressive, or I probably wouldn't be here. So if the nets were only for mosquitoes, I guess I could see them still keeping Gators out? Dunno. I'm no gator expert and certainly not an Orlando suburb expert. You may well be right.

That's nice-looking. Quite an upgrade and somewhat different than the set-up where we rented, from what I remember. It was 18 years ago now, though.

Well that's because cajuns let them in then eat 'em

Good to see you're getting into the spirit of the season :111:

Floridians who live between the interstates eat gator.

tasty

I like gator. Tastes like chicken.

Kind of like those cowboys that accompany Bevo onto the field for games

My daughter in BR is in desperate need of some type of screened porch or gazebo. The F'ing mosquitoes never die, and my bloodline must taste really F'ing good to the damn things.

quit using your wife's body wash & lotion

HA, they leave her alone because my daughters and I are usually in the same location.
They must like the hereditary high lipid content.

I saw a video that tested mosquitoes' preferences for blood types, and it appears to be a real thing. I kinda suspected something like that already tho, because the dang things tear me up horribly when I'm outside and they're around. They completely ignore my wife, and other people I've been around over the years.
-
They love me and my blood type O.

They're starting to see how smart they have been in Dubai and now creating their own.

So... what's this game going to look like from the Michigan side? New coach, potentially a lot more opt-outs than initially expected, anything else?
-
What will it look like?

-
Michigan might just opt out and pay the $500K
-
Love the sleeveless look. The games where Biff was Michigan's stand in coach were actually some of the better ones on offense. Being a very young team they need the practice. No chance they buy out of the Citrus bowl.
-
so, who's the temp HC?
OC, DC, special teams coach?

See above.
He was interim for the game Sherrone was suspended.
The ST coach was just hired a week ago, so that ain't happening.
Unless Lloyd Carr wants to pull a Barry

If "we" restarted treating bowl games somewhat like a Spring game, it would all make some sense.
-
I'd rather the "final" poll and regular season mythical national championship go back to being awarded before the bowls and the playoff
opps, wrong thread
-
I saw someone say it would be fun if early enrolees were allowed to play. Maybe some elite WRs could hold up. Good luck sticking a 17 year old OL out there after 2 weeks of practice.
-
michigan might need a 17 year old to field a team
-
I think for every player who opts out, the team should be forced to start an alumni. Nobody under the age of 40, and nobody who was ever on athletic scholarship at the school.
It would be ridiculous and terrible... But c'mon... If Purdue made a bowl and you knew *I* was going to be out there... You'd all watch :57:
-
I think we all figured this opt out thing would be another nail in the bowl games.

Should have been a touch back. Seen with osu googles
-
No, same as the Jeremiah Smith TD, that's a TD
Love the Michigan kicker telling Biff to go for it. He's saying, brother there are too many strip clubs in Tampa for me to be worried about 50 yard FGs today

I feel like that would be a weird thing to find on an actual restaurant menu... Although if I did, I would have to assume that they'd nailed it, and would feel pretty good about trying it.
I'm wondering whether I can adapt it to pork tenderloin due to my wife's poultry allergy... I've done fried pork tenderloin in the style of fried chicken before... And she LOVES Cheez-its...
Getting ideas here now :57:

I do a cracker crumb breading for fried pork cutlets using crushed saltines, I can't imagine crushing Cheez-its would be much different. Cheesier flavor profile, obviously, but the logistics should be the same.

Did not age well.
Nice work, B1G blue bloods.
USC. UNL. UM. OSU.
Anyway, I wish my team could have lost yesterday. So there's that.

Feels like it needs to be a small side, just as a sample and adventure. Or maybe some kind of bites/wings so everyone can have one and see.

B1G's doing fine in the postseason. Bowl games are a terrible way to judge relative conference strength for a long list of reasons I've reiterated multple times.
Still, when a jackwagon like Portnoy pops off about B1G superiority, and then his very own team gets manhandled, well, it's gonna draw some comments.
And I'm here for it. :)

True that. Jack wagon is an upgrade!
